AtlantiSands

I always loved putting the first marks on a clean sheet of paper. That is the way I feel about this blog -- I want to make my mark on it! Today, there is nothing profound that I want to say on it. I only want to establish the fact that I am here.

My name is Sandi and I sell real estate. I have done other things, but I am very happy that I am no longer spending my life in a cubicle. I love what I do, now, because I am helping people, and it gives me great satisfaction.

I am a native of NC and my roots here go deep, for I am a descendant of the Native Americans who inhabited this area before the European settlers came. Fred Willard is doing research on the Lost Colonists of 1587, England's first attempt at a permanent settlement in America on Roanoke Island, which ended disastrously. Willard's research is based on his hypothesis that the English colonists may have joined the Croatan Indians. The Croatan eventually became known as the Hatteras, who by 1729 were reported to be living with the English. Perhaps I am one of these. Time will tell.

Most ancestors of mine came across the Atlantic Ocean by way of ship. Some actually washed up on the sandy shores of Hatteras Island. Beginnings intrigue me, and I thought the beginnings of my blog should reflect who I am and where I am from.

Welcome, then, to Sandi's Sandbox -- at AtlantiSands!
